Aside from the insanely great color combination of navy and green we love today’s lovely classic wedding that Forever By Kylene Photography shared with us.
Rick and Stacey were married in Ponte Vedra Beach at the The Marriott Hotel at Sawgrass. Everything always seems a bit sunnier and happier in Florida, doesn’t it?
Some favorite touches of the day were the green apples that Rick and Stacey incorporated into their look and feel along with insanely cute navy blue bridesmaid dresses. Who does not love a Palomas Nest wedding ring holder. I am more than confident these should be a mandatory staple at every wedding. Such a keep sake.

Wham, BAM! Joan Shum Is Bringing The Corset Back.
We had the pleasure of visiting Joan Shum’s studio when we borrowed a dress from her for our Style Lab Workshop and what a treat it was. First off, Joan is as sweet as pie! Her studio was a creative heaven of tulle, gorgeous fabrics and wedding dresses galore. She has the cutest Jack Russel with the fitting name, Jack who follows her every move.
When you walk into her studio, you will want to try on everything and dip yourself into a corset. Which by the way did happen, it was a bit hard to resist.
Why should you wear a Corset on your wedding day?
Well… to look fabulous of course but they also will make you appear thinner, instantly. It’s true! Corsets are designed to reduce your waistline, and flatten your stomach just by putting the corset on. Love that! Joan also shared with us that she can design one of her Corsets to fit any shape or size.
All of Joan’s pieces are designed as separates, so you can mix and match. They all have that vintage-inspired feel but with a modern twist. All of her dresses are made-to-order and everything from the length of the skirt to the style of the corset down to the color is customized so your gown is guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Surprisingly enough, a Joan Shum Couture custom gown is not terribly expensive. You are going to be spending just as much on something that is ready to wear.
One of our favorite photographers, Stephanie Williams has some spectacular photos of Joan’s dresses that you might want to check out. Click here to see more. It was such a pleasure meeting Joan and if you would like more information on her dresses you can visit her web site or visit one of the boutiques that carries her dresses.

Who loves Harrison Studio? We do!
Ben & Laura sent over this charming Texas wedding that was quite charming if I do say so myself.
Here are some fun details about this wedding from Ben & Laura
First off, this couple are seriously two of the sweetest people we have ever met. We don’t just say that b/c they are our clients, but they seriously were incredible people and we were so blessed to get to document their day. A few fun details about this wedding, the wedding ceremony took place at the oldest baptist church in all of Texas (Independence Baptist Church established in 1839) … the original organ is still there and many of the lighting features etc so neat to photograph in such an old church. It was so stinking cute! The reception took place a few miles away from the church at the grooms family ranch (this is straight up Texas style!!). Everything was so adorable and fitting for this couple. It was a true celebration of their marriage and we were so happy to be a part of it!!
Laura and Josh were married in Brenham, Texas and had a tradtional

We love a backyard wedding!
Leila Khali from Inspired By This shared with us this charming Colorado backyard wedding with us. Kate and Drew were married at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Boulder, Colorado and then they were off to Kate’s parents backyard where they held their shabby chic wedding reception. Complete with a New Orleans s style band. Jared Wilson Photography did an outstanding job documenting this Colorado Wedding.
The entire wedding reception took some careful planning and coordinating in order to get all the guest to the backyard. Julie of Classic Creations coordinated this entire event and from what we see, it went off flawlessly.
Check out Drew & Kate’s engagement session that Jared took in Kate’s parents backyard as well.
Alicia of Bella Fiori Events did a ultra mega wonderful job on the floral designs. How incredibly cute are the table numbers? The charming bows that hold the table numbers in place are absolutely adorable.

I sure do miss the central coast!
I lived there many years ago and miss the rolling hills and the SLO life! So, when Kelli Jane Photography shared with us Rachel and Jeff’’s San Luis Obispo wedding I was excited to share it with you.
The two love birds tied the knot at the Dallidet Adobe in San Luis Obispo. Â Their lovely and intimate garden wedding was full of rustic details and bright colors. I especially love the wooden ring boxes that say, “Love You!” So incredibly precious.
Please be sure to check out Kelli’s blog she seriously has one of the cutest photography blogs I have ever seen.
